Abstract

In this paper, 28 GHz MIMO channel capacity and characteristics are analyzed, based on indoor propagation measurements carried out for both LOS and NLOS scenarios. Specifically, MIMO channel link budget, capacity, path loss, K-factor and delay spreads are studied based on experimental data. Results show that Gigabit capacity can be achieved in 28 GHz channel with MIMO (1 × 4) configuration in indoor corridor. RMS delay spread depends on both the size and scenario (LOS and NLOS) of environments. CDF of K-factor can be fitted with normal distribution in the LOS corridor. The provided parameters are useful for design of 5G wireless communication systems.
